Post by stefanolipira »

is it possible to use the RUNMLWIN with the 30-days trial version of MLwiN?

i've followed the instructions.
1. installed and updated "runmlwin":
. net from http://www.bristol.ac.uk/cmm/media/runmlwin
. adoupdate runmlwin
2. set the MLwiN path:
.global MLwiN path "C:\Program Files\MLwiN Trial\MLwiN.exe"
(mlwinpath command hasn't been recognized!)
3. tried the tutorial and i got this message (r198)!
*You must specify the file address for MLwiN.exe

best

Unfortunately the current trial version of MLwiN is based on version 2.16, while runmlwin makes use of functionality added in version 2.22. I will look into updating the trial version to a compatible version in the near future.

Having said that, if I am reading what you typed correctly I think that you missed out the _ character in MLwiN_path which explains why you got a message about not finding MLwiN rather than about not having the correct version.

A trial version of MLwiN which should be compatible with runmlwin is now available from http://www.bristol.ac.uk/cmm/software/mlwin/download/.
